Draft at the brewpub. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, grass, and yeast. The flavor is sweet wtih notes of malt, grain, straw, and citrus, leading to a dry grainy finish.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and yellow with a lacing white head. Breadish malt aroma. Flavour holds a mild fruity note to the rather dry breadish flavour. A bit wort like. More fruity and tasty into the finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Almost clear pale yellow, minimal head. Somewhat fruity but mostly neutral. Clean and crisp, low on hops, but some grass surfaces late. Low bitterness. Empty, but quaffable.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2006 Draft... Lightly hazy, lemon-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Lemony, butterscotch aroma with some pear and freshly harvested barley thrown into the mix. Well-balanced, citrusy flavor. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, clean finish.

Draft. Pale straw color with a nice white head, Low grass aroma. Light sweet malt and mineral/grass flavor. Clean finish. Easy drinking.

On tap at the brewery during the ISA-West conference. Pours a cloudy golden hue with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The flavor is your typical fruity Blonde, but with a good bit of hops. Nice.

Not much aroma. Nothing to this beer. Very plain and thin, but not too strainy. Better than regular mass-swill beers a tad.

Light, clean, fizzy, and lots of lager corn flavour. A classic taste for a pilsner, golden yellow colour and minimal head. I would assume it’s brewed for the masses.

on tap at the brewpub. similiar to the straweberry blonde kind of lacked a punch.

Simple crisp, gold color. Weak nose. A good balance exists among hoppiness and sweetness. Nice finish. Nice trail of lace.
